A couple people recently in #haiku have been having problems with the newer gcc 4.3.x compiling our cross tools. It seems an issue in the gas code is the holdup. I don't have much time this morning as I'm leaving in a few minutes, but I wanted to point you to a (non-english) blog someone put together explaining how they were able to compile the tools: http://matias.archlinux-br.org/archives/63 We should probably investigate this, as more people with newer linux distros are gonna start running into this now. - Urias
